After reading the above several posts, I'm beginning to feel sorry for Harry Potter. So how about for the title of the next movie, "Harry Potter's Day Off." That could be fun.

What exactly is the definition of "hack"? And isn't it Hallows like "All Hallows' Eve"? And according to what I've heard, it should be called Harry Potter and the Fourteen Hundred Pages.

I think it's Hallows as a verb, in the sense that, Deathly Hallows means lots of people are going to die and created hallowed ground.

I think it's a reference to the body count.

Maybe deathly hallows are anti-horcruxes. They de-vitalize them, dispel the soul-fragments or whatever. We all know that after publication of Half-Blood Prince horcruxes were an issue of much discussion and predictions about their possible significance in the overall plot.

According to MuggleNet, if some of the other language versions of Book Seven's title are retranslated back into English, one gets results like Harry Potter and the Saints of Death/Angel of Death.

Hmmmm...

Which may or may not mean anything.

If you translate "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" into Russian and back to English you get "The vodka is good but the meat is rotten."

(Ok, so the story is probably apocryphal. But it's fun anyway, and it makes my point.)

One of the Hallows has to be Godric's Hallow where the Potter's where killed, are their any other Hallow's that have been mentioned?

The Dursley's live on a Drive... the Weasley's live in some community I forgot the name of, the Order of the Pheonix lives at a Place.

Whats that leave?

Listening to more theories over at MuggleNet, I rather like the one that the title is a reference to All Hallow's Eve...the time of year when the veil between the living and the dead is supposed to be thin.

A hallow is a ghost or spirit. She's been building up the whole, "what is the nature of the next life" since books commenced but really dug into it in book 5 and since then.

Hallow, hallow, where have I heard that before....


As Harry Potter begins his curse, Valdemort smiles and casts the deadly "Voltrex" curse first, sending Harry Potter into a trance of pain and flames.

Suddenly three very well endowed women appear out of a tinkling blue light.

They chant:
"By the power of three
We set Harry free
As charmed Hallowell
Voldemort we have fell
To be gone for these reasons
Seven book fall to 10 seasons"

I don't think Paige is all that well endowed.
